Today we start our bike ride by leaving the Pacific Coast Hiway and heading inland on the 3 Capes Scenic Byway. We ride through mossy forests along the Cape Kiwanda Scenic Route before descending to the seaside town of Ocean Rock. After passing through the town of Neskowin, which means “Place of Plenty Fish,” we leave the main road again to wind through the forest on Slab Creek Road, part of the official Oregon Coast Bike Route. Our destination is Newport and the Best Western Agate Beach Inn, which sits right on the beach. Walk along the shores at night as the tide ebbs and flows.

Our highlight for today will be the bike ride up Cape Perception and the "Devil's Churn," a narrow inlet that spits ocean spray several hundred feet into the air. We ride along cliffs overlooking the ocean as we climb up to the famous Sea Lion Caves before our descent toward Florence, Oregon. Don't forget to stop and view the rare "Pitcher Plants" bog just before riding into town.
